According to a survey that was organized by HBUS, the operator of the American crypto-exchange Huobi, almost 12% of the crypto holders are long-term investors.
In the period from March to April of this year, the company surveyed 1,067 US crypto holders and found out that 19.58% of citizens whose income exceeds $ 99,000 per year are active holders of digital currency. In the meantime, according to the survey, people who earn about $ 125,000- $ 149,000 are likely to invest in cryptocurrency.
The study also found that in 2018, 8% of respondents invested in cryptocurrency, in 2019 slightly more people decided to do this – the figure increased to 20%. 74.32% of respondents admitted that they receive knowledge about cryptocurrency, over 60% said that the choice of the crypto-exchange used is based on the recommendations of friends.
Respondents note that the main factors that inhibit the spread of cryptocurrency are a lack of understanding of how everything functions, lack of training, and concerns about security. At the same time, those who invest in cryptocurrency note the advantages – technological potential, confidentiality and, oddly enough, security.
Recall that at the end of April, the results of another survey showed that 11% of the US population owns the main cryptocurrency – BTC.
